The cap is pale buff, straw to beige, darker at the centre, campanulate to convex, with a prominent central umbo. The cap surface is slightly scaly at the centre, not viscid nor sticky. The stem is white with pink shades, pruinose. The flesh is white, unchanging; its taste is mild; the odour is faint, earthy or mealy; its texture is fibrous. The gills are pale clay then tobacco brown, with a white edge, adnate or adnexed, a bit crowded (nb of gills per 90° ~ 22 ). The spore print is tobacco brown. This species is mycorrhizal. It grows on the ground, in coniferous woods, pine. The fruiting period takes place from July to November.
Chemical tests : none. Distinctive features : cream to buff cap; clay-brown gills; pruinose stem; white flesh, unchanging; with conifers Inocybe sindonia is quite rare and scattered in the forest of Rambouillet, and is frequent, more generally speaking . | ||
